Love Your Golden Retriever? Tips for Hip Dysplasia in Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers are the most popular dogs in the US

As a loving Pet Parent, you will want to be aware of the signs to watch for with your beloved Golden Retriever dog.

Just because you’re offered something that might be good for your career, that would definitely feel good to your ego, that most people would have said yes to, doesn’t mean you have to listen to your ego and accept the offer. You can say NO.

Every ‘Yes’ You Say Is a ‘No’ to Something Else

Hurrah for the honest advice. We do not need to say yes to everything. There will be other opportunities and choices along the way.

There is never a limit to new choices. But we need to remember that it is a choice and we get to choose our response.

That didn’t matter. I was filled with the grief of unfulfilled expectations and unable to express my feelings since at that time it wasn’t considered a “real loss”.

The True Meaning of Resilience

Frances Hickmott

Ahh, yes, as a mom of a stillborn, I so understand. Grief is real and lasting. She died on Christmas morning and in the days leading up to Christmas forty years later, I am blue and spacey. Finally realized that my cells remembered, even when friends and family did not.

Blessings and keep writing and I will keep reading.

If a friend starts to give you updates on other people you know, it can be helpful to say, “I want to hear about what’s going on with you.” Or you can ask yourself, “What would I sharing about myself if I were with my best friend right now?” Then jump to the heart of things.

Thank you for discouraging gossip. We have always told our children and grandchildren; "If they are gossiping about another with you, they will gossip about you with another. Walk away, they are toxic."

I have good news: you can write a personal story and get paid for it. Yes, there are publications looking for such pieces. Their rates are decent and they don’t discriminate based on the location or background of the writer so feel free to submit your personal story to them.

Wow, just last night in my Intenders for the Highest Good group the moderator said the same thing "Own Your Own Crap" It is important to see what part we play in the situations that are causing us discomfort or pain in our life.

Sometimes hard to do, but easy to solve problems when we recognize our part in the situation.

It’s high time people came clean about how we use the Bible to describe and define marriage. Many use the Bible to justify a certain definition of marriage, which simply confirms their own biases and prejudices.

Thanks for an interesting read. Keep writing and I will keep reading.

I am often appalled at my Christian friends who profess to follow Christ and yet are so judgmental and sometimes cruel. Very little of the universal love that is missing in the world.

Thanks again,

The chemical-based cravings subsided reasonably quickly, but the psychological ones took much longer. I hear people talk about feeling addicted to a relationship with a person and how horrible it was to “quit” them. I’m surprised by how similar this felt to my relationship with alcohol.

Hello fro, beautiful Montana, How very true.

I had been alcohol free for a year (this time) when I was offered a glass of wine at a dinner. It seemed so "right" to relax with good food, friends and flavors. However, one or two glasses and then the psychological craving took over.

I rationalized twice during the week. I got so sick that it was horrible.

I am back to choosing alcohol free for life. And to always remember the relationship is not a good one for me. It does not, and never will, serve my highest good.

Autistic people are not monolithic. Though a lot of very vocal Autism self-advocates oppose the term Asperger’s, there are a lot of Autistic people throughout the world who still use it. Ultimately, it’s not the word that is the key problem, even with its horrific, fascistic roots. The word Autism doesn’t have a sunny history either, after all. It means “isolated self,” and the p…

It creates a situation, as she notes, where “men make the decisions and decide the theology, they just don’t bear the cost.” And it leaves the impression Evangelical men succeeded in creating a system that facilitates any kind of abuse they’d have in mind.

This is not just happening in evangelical churches. I suggest you check out the movie "Doubt" with Glenn Close. It shows the Catholic church not only overlooking abuse, but celebrating those who do it

It is hard to imagine what would cause someone to devlolop such a harrible habit of not only watching this child pron but actually doing it
